Later in the Q&A Sessions, one of the press member asked how the breakdown of revenue will change in the future.

Masuda answered “ We don’t rely on single business model. It is natural that each services has ups and downs. It is also natural that each country has its own trend. Setting out a rule about how much of our revenue must come from which services makes no sense. We provide many free services but we don’t think they are money loser, either. Actually, those can be the areas where we can show our business real skills.”

Also asked about how they would compete with WhatsApp and other messaging apps, Masuda said “We don’t build our services for differentiation. We are only here to provide the best service we can make.”
